I got an email today from Joost inviting me to be a beta tester, so I though i would give it a whirl.
I noticed straight away that the amount of bandwidth this thing uses is HUGE as the picture quality is much better than the likes of Youtube, though still not brilliant.
My AOL connection is throttled at peak times so this makes Joost pretty much unusable at 300kbps, i havent tried it unthrottled yet, but im sure my meger 1mb connection will still struggle at full speed.
If this thing takes off, I can imagine a lot more broadband subscribers falling foul of the various fair use policies that are lurking out there.
When I get unthrottled ill set up a bandwidth meter and see how much this thing uses in say, 1 hour...
